Here's a log of a failed Solaris 5.7 build
cc -I/usr/local/include -R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -o pinky pinky.o
../lib/libcoreutils.a /usr/local/lib/libintl.so /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -lc

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
gethostbyname ../lib/libcoreutils.a(getaddrinfo.o)
getservbyname ../lib/libcoreutils.a(getaddrinfo.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to pinky
make[3]: *** [pinky] Error 1
The problem was that coreutils no longer had the check for -lnsl.
coreutils-5.3.0 had that test in canon-host.m4, and now that canon-host
is just a wrapper around getaddrinfo, it's appropriate that it no longer
perform this check. So getaddrinfo.m4 must do it, now,
and I've made the following change in coreutils, and
will commit it to gnulib as soon as I've confirmed it works.

* getaddrinfo.m4 (gl_GETADDRINFO): Check for gethostbyname
in the inet and nsl libraries. Required on Solaris 5.7.
